The Governor of Pará, Helder Barbalho, highlighted today (01), during the Sustainable Congress 2025, the potential of the Bioeconomy and the Carbon Market to boost the green economy of the state and Brazil, in preparation for COP30
At the event organized by the Brazilian Business Council for Sustainable Development (CEBDS), which takes place today (01), at the Gasômetro Theater, in Belém, Pará, the Governor addressed the preparation for COP30, which takes place in the state capital in November this year.
Alongside Ana Toni, executive director of COP30, and Marcelo Brito, COP30 special envoy for the subnational states of the Amazon, Barbalho also highlighted how the Bioeconomy and the Carbon Market can help revolutionize the green economy of the state of Pará and all of Brazil.
The Governor highlighted the creation of the Amazon Bioeconomy and Innovation Park, a space designed to be self-sustainable and that will function as a major biobusiness accelerator, supporting forestry products and services. Helder Barbalho also mentioned the Carbon Market as a crucial point for Brazil and the State of Pará, due to its green area and renewable energy potential.
“We must ensure that the living forest is worth more than the dead forest,” highlighted Helder Barbalho.
What is Bioeconomy?
The bioeconomy is a development model that uses biological resources, such as biodiversity, standing forests and sustainable agriculture, as a basis for generating innovation, income and economic growth. In Brazil, it represents a unique opportunity to combine environmental preservation and productive inclusion, especially in the Amazon and Cerrado biomes.
With the greatest biodiversity on the planet, local production chains and traditional knowledge, the country can lead this global movement, creating sustainable solutions for sectors such as energy, food, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Investing in the bioeconomy is investing in a low-carbon future, with job creation, science and the valorization of nature.
